Ning Shu saw Xia Xiaoman’s expression of pain and despair. Xia Xiaoman’s face which had already been deathly pale now became even paler and the rims of her eyes were completely red. However, she forced those tears back.

  Ning Shu felt pretty speechless. With people like Xia Xiaoman, there wasn’t even any need to do anything to them for them to fall into their own created world of suffering. They repeatedly tormented themselves, feeling that they were in so much pain, so so much pain.

  That was what female leads of sado-maso novels were like. They were always suffering like they were in such pain that they felt like dying. They’d always be able to find ways to make themselves suffer.

  Ning Shu couldn’t understand this at all. She had stayed in a hospital for over ten years. There was practically no way for people to endure the pain of chemotherapy. If at that time, she had kept feeling that she was suffering so much, she definitely would’ve fallen apart.

  That was why, after something already happened, when Ning Shu saw people repeatedly tormenting themselves over the past instead of working hard to move on, she’d feel that they were freakin’ mentally retarded.

  Xia Xiaoman forced a smile as she said, “It’s good that you’re moving away. Big Brother Wenlang, I hope you’ll find happiness.”


  “You too. There’s nothing more important than one’s health. Your health is your everything,” said Ning Shu mildly.

  However, Xia Xiaoman didn’t really have any bad intentions. She was just a little too opinionated. She thought without any basis that everything she did was for the good of other people, that she was sacrificing herself for other people’s sakes, but she had never considered whether other people accepted this ‘sacrifice’ of hers.

  “Big Brother Wenlang……” When Xia Xiaoman saw that Ning Shu was about to leave, she turned around to look at Ning Shu. “Sorry.”


  Ning Shu hooked her lips without speaking. Xia Xiaoman didn’t just owe Xu Wenlang an apology, she also owed him a life. However, Xia Xiaoman had actually ended up getting together with Chu Xiaoran who had killed Xu Wenlang.

  At first Xia Xiaoman was angry, but in the end, she melted in Chu Xiaoran’s gentleness. She even ran to Xu Wenlang’s tomb and blahed something about how she had thought she could never forgive Chu Xiaoran, but she loved Chu Xiaoran and so she had decided to discard and forget all the past hurt to be together with Chu Xiaoran. It was hard to encounter true love in one’s lifetime after all. In the end, she even said, Big Brother Wenlang, I’ve found happiness now. Wish me well.

  It practically made Ning Shu vomit blood.

  Ning Shu turned and left. With people like Xia Xiaoman, even if you didn’t pay attention to them, they’d still be able to degrade themselves. However, in front of Chu Xiaoran, she always seemed to have such ego. Even though they were sleeping together, she still said that she was being forced and that she was someone with dignity.

  The Xu family bought their new house in the neighboring W City. Chu Xiaoran didn’t really have much power in W City. Even if he made a move, there’d be a lot of limitations.

  The reason she was going dormant now was to strengthen herself.
